The Coptic Cards
2015 to date. The Coptic Cards are a
current, on-going project which Ian is developing based on the Tarot deck. The
Coptic Cards use ancient magical systems and incorporate Enochian writing to
enhance the meditative use. The artwork is designed to perform like a
Rorschach, allowing the audience to see more detail as they progress into a
transient state of consciousness.
I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful
In the month of October 2012, Ian
organised an art exhibition/event called ‘I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful’.
This was held in a derelict mansion. The concept of this event was to create an
experience which was similar to walking onto the movie set of a horror film.
The exhibition, ‘I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful’ was a collaborative
project which involved filmmakers, sculptors, photographers and writers. For
this exhibition, Ian Wadsworth created large anatomy drawings which
incorporated esoteric symbols.
I Thought I Saw Something
In 2013 Ian organised the follow up art
exhibition to ‘I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful’. It was called ‘I Thought I
Saw Something’. This time the event was held in a forest at night. This again
was a collaborative project. In preparation for this exhibition, Ian would do
heavy research into the occult and made regular visits to the Museum of
Witchcraft in Cornwall and reading extensively books such as ‘The Golden
Bough’. Throughout the event, Ian would incorporate esoteric symbolism into the
environment of the woods. He developed a fictional storyline for the event and
created tattooed calf leather wraps and shrines.
